I think you might be struggling here John, last year Parsonsgang found it difficult to hire a 7 seater, there is a hire place next to Icedreams by the turning to Perithia, I noticed a larger size vehicle there last week, I'll pull over & check it out next time I visit the English butcher there & let you know. Pete.

There was a company called 'Antony' coaches who would do it for about €70, but I believe they are no longer in business. There may be companies at the airport who will do it, but make sure your minibus is for you only as they may well try to save money by putting you on a shared bus. The term 'private shuttle', to me, means your party and no one else - it does not always happen. The place by Ice Dream may be operated by then father of the ice cream company owner who has a rental comany next door. I sometimes see him in Acharavi - I'll look out for him over the next couple of days.

Having not seen the guy I mentioned for months, John, I missed him this morning by seconds as he shot off up the road as I was crossing over. We have had another thought also, but we'll speak to someone first before answering.

I've never had any dealings with them so can't recommend but Corfucars4hire who are based in Roda are advertising a 9 seater minibus. They have their own website with contact details.

I've just spoken to a friend who is a minibus driver working for Sidari Travel. He has contacted his boss and they have two old-ish minibuses that they use for this purpose ... one is a 12-seater, the other a 16-seater. There are two rates:
Daytime transfer from the airport to Roda is €80 + VAT (23%)
Nightime transfer from the airport to Roda is €90 + VAT
Officially, nightime payments to drivers start at 10pm and finish at 6am. If your arrival in Roda is between those hours, you will probably be charged the higher rate.
There is talk of a new and very modern 19-seater for 2014, but this is still to be decided.

Look on Trip adviser for various comments. last year when we used them to get to Roda first we were put on the wrong minibus heading South then when we did get to Roda we were put out at the traffic lights and told to find our own way to the accommodation at 1amin the morning. The return trip they advanced our pick up time from 19.50 to 17.10 so we were at the airport for an extra 3 hours waiting for our flight home which was delayed anyway . Steve knows a lot about this firm. Don't even consider them!!!
